I've been tattooing for 3 years and I'm comfortable and experienced with designing and tattooing in every kind of style. I've got a preference for traditional and colour realism and I've got an instagram page where I post blackwork designs: https://www.instagram.com/downerforhire/.

As a tattooist I work 6 days a week from 10am til around 7pm or 8pm on the night and am used to working hard and taking work on whenever I need to. Obviously no drink or drug problems and for the last few years I've been consistently reliable and open and close the shop. I've only ever worked at one studio and am looking for a studio to work in for as long as possible.

I've also been the studio manager for the studio, I open and close the shop, I manage the physical and online diaries, I manage the accounts, outgoings and stock for the studio, I pay the bills and organise the insurances and licenses for the studio. I also manage the social media and answer all enquiries and messages on both the business and customer sides of the studio. I've also started several successful marketing initiatives for myself and the studio as a whole. I am happy to fulfil any of these responsibilities as well as working as an artist.

I have also trained several apprentices from start to junior artist and have developed and enacted a training schedule for them, and I've currently got three apprentices working for me and the studio.

I've got a good rapport with people and I've received numerous reviews talking about me and how friendly I am etc, and have a lot of experience dealing with all different kinds of people with different needs for a tattoo. I'm happy to do any kind of tattoo work in any kind of style, I don't want to limit myself, so on a daily basis I work a mixed bag of minimum charge names to full colour realism back pieces to black and grey standalone pieces, and work on basically any kind/ area of skin.

I've lived and worked in London before for a few years and am familiar with the city. I've built up a strong client base in Birmingham and have a few clients from London, but do not currently have a client base in London.

Aside from studios I'd be interested to hear other people's experiences in finding shops in London and working in London as a tattooist.

Cheers,
Dave
